An astronaut loses the 'toolbox' on their space walk

One of the astronauts who had participated in the first space walk of the current mission of NASA on the International Space Station (ISS, for its acronym in Spanish) has lost his toolbox, according to the U.S. space agency itself. In particular Heidemarie Stefanyshyn Piper has been spared a bag containing a gun lubricant that it was releasing fat and left in a vacuum that could not recover. The U.S. engineer had begun work on the damaged solar antenna of the ISS when he had that problem, which has been seen by the broadcast of NASA TV. "Oh, cool!", He exclaimed when Stefanyshyn Piper dropped the bag while clearing their gloves from fat. His walking companion, Steve Bowen, was carrying a bag and has shared identical with the tools. The incident has not prevented who have successfully completed their mission. "They have done a fabulous job," told from the control center in Houston (Texas). "It's been a pleasure working with you," responded almost at the same time Stefanyshyn Piper (45 years) and Bowen (44), before closing the gates at 01.01 hours GMT (02.01 pm on Wednesday in mainland Spain), and to completed the first hike after a day of work for 6 hours and 52 minutes. On Thursday, another historic mission The seven astronauts on the mission of Endeavor who arrived on Sunday at the station have provided another three hikes in the 15-day mission, whose main objective is to expand the living space of the orbiter. For now, astronauts have replaced one tank of hydrogen and have cleared the board of rotating antennas located on the starboard side of the ISS. From within, Don Pettit and Sandra Magnus handled the robotic arm, all directed by Shane Kimbrough. The second walk between Thursday and Saturday will be carried out by the latter's own astronaut and Stefanyshyn Piper. That hike will have a significant space for NASA and the 16 countries participating in the largest engineering project space. On Thursday met 10 years of the beginning of its construction from the Russian Zarya module, a device the size of a bus that came to the orbit on November 20, 1998. After 29 missions there and 115 space walks, the ISS is more than 100 meters long with its solar panels and covers an area similar to the six tracks of basketball. At the end of this mission, the Space Station will have the ability to receive on a permanent basis to six occupants, twice the current
